Down to the Bone

[Verse 1]

I thought I knew

What love was all about

But as I fell in

She fell out

Standing on the platform

I tried to wave goodbye

But as the train pulled away

She would not catch my eye

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's always you

In the half-shell with a veil across your face

With your lover on your arm

And your eyes cast into space

[Chorus]

Come to me, baby

I'm so alone

You're all I've ever wanted

And you're all I've ever known

Don't try to roll me back

I am not made of stone

When you left, you left a hole in me

Down to the bone

[Verse 2]

The choice is plain before me

Delusion or despair?

But by the time it matters

I'll be too strung out to care

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's always you

Like the Virgin Mary, child tugging at your sleeve

Tell me lies

Only this time, honey, make me believe

[Chorus]

Come to me, baby

Reap what you have sown

You're the long-distance dial

Screaming down my telephone

Look at you, baby

All your lovers are out on loan

When you left, you left a hole in me

Down to the bone

Yeah, when you left, you left a hole in me

Down to the bone

[Bridge]

Faith turned its back on me

There lies the mystery

Why love must come and go

I guess I'll never know

[Chorus]

Come to me, baby

I'm so alone

When you left, you left a hole in me

Down to the bone

Yeah, when you left, you left a hole in me

Down to the bone

[Outro]

Come to me

I'm so alone

Down to the bone

Come to me
